#224: Author and economist Austin Frerick returns to break down how grocery store monopolies are shaping what ends up in our carts, who profits from it, and who gets left out. From Walmart's grip on food access to the collapse of fair pricing for farmers, Austin exposes how consolidation is driving inequality across the food system. This conversation offers a clear-eyed view of the corporate forces eroding real food, real farms, and the possibility of justice in what we eat.https://realorganicproject.org/austin-frerick-grocery-store-monopolies-224Austin Frerick is a 7th generation Iowan who, after watching his home state be transformed through agricultural policy to the detriment of the family farmer, became an expert on agriculture and antitrust policy and now serves the Co-Chair of the Biden campaign's Agriculture Antitrust Policy Committee. He is the author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry.https://www.austinfrerick.com/https://www.austinfrerick.com/The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson take a deep dive into the proposed federal “Big, Beautiful Bill” —a sweeping tax and budget to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). They explore what's included, how it could impact Iowa taxpayers, and why federal spending policy is just as important to state-level fiscal decisions as what happens in Des Moines.The episode starts with local stories, including Axios Des Moines' report on housing incentives and Des Moines' call for suburban areas to contribute more to metro affordable housing projects. Chris and John push back on the idea of taxpayer-subsidized development, highlighting how government incentives—whether for low-income housing or luxury projects—distort the free market and fuel property tax frustrations.From there, they shift to the heart of the episode: Trump-era tax cuts are set to expire, and Congress is working on a major package to extend and expand many of those provisions. The bill includes an expanded child tax credit, increases to the standard deduction, and proposed tax exemptions for tips and overtime pay. Chris and John warn that while these carveouts may be politically appealing, they erode the tax base and complicate Iowa's flat tax system due to the state's rolling conformity with federal tax law.They also dissect the politics of the SALT cap debate, a key sticking point among lawmakers from high-tax states, and outline how raising the cap to $40,000 could disproportionately benefit wealthier taxpayers in states like New York and California—undermining the incentive for state-level tax reform.In closing, the hosts emphasize the broader lesson: neither tax relief nor economic growth is sustainable without spending restraint. With the federal government projected to spend nearly $89 trillion over the next 10 years, and only modest cuts proposed, Chris and John preview future ITR Foundation efforts to spotlight the dangers of unchecked national debt—and why every taxpayer, including Iowans, should care.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson tackle a growing debate in Iowa: Should state tax policy include more exemptions, carveouts, and targeted relief—or should we stay focused on keeping rates low for everyone? The conversation dives into a series of recent proposals, including sales tax exemptions for toilet paper and vitamins, as well as income tax exemptions for tips and overtime pay.While these proposals may have some political appeal, Chris and John argue they're examples of short-term populism that undermines long-term tax reform. Each exemption narrows the tax base and shifts the burden to other taxpayers, making it harder to lower rates across the board. They warn that these types of policies reverse the progress made through Iowa's 3.8% flat tax and could erode the simplicity and fairness of the system.The hosts also revisit calls for a senior property tax freeze, explaining why exempting one group of homeowners just increases the burden on others. Instead of picking winners and losers, they say, the goal should be to reduce the size and cost of government for everyone—a message echoed by the 70% of Iowans who support real property tax reform.Later in the episode, John shares updates on his latest op-eds covering Iowa's GDP, flat tax benefits, and state comparisons, and discusses a recent written debate with economist Vance Ginn on Trump-era tariffs—all available on ITRFoundation.org.Wrapping up, Chris previews a ITR project focused on defining the principles of good tax policy and what fiscal conservatives should expect from future leaders—especially with the 2026 governor's race already coming into view.

This landmark decision centers on the administration's willful disregard for court orders halting deportation flights to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act. Legal experts characterize such contempt findings against federal officials as "just about unheard of," highlighting the extraordinary nature of the judiciary's pushback against executive overreach.Meanwhile, the democratic disconnect grows increasingly apparent during Congressional recess as Republican lawmakers face their constituents in dramatically different town hall formats. Senator Chuck Grassley confronts direct questioning from Iowans demanding accountability, while Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene opts for a highly controlled environment where she openly mocks written questions from constituents she dismisses as "brainwashed."

Chris and John discuss their concerns about the complexity of the changes and whether they truly provide tax relief for Iowans—especially given the absence of full data from the state.They then celebrate the Iowa Senate's passage of the two-thirds supermajority constitutional amendment to raise taxes, a longtime taxpayer protection goal.

As anti-trans policies continue to escalate at the national and state level, local organizing has become a bastion of hope. This week, Imara talks with two leaders working to protect their communities in increasingly hostile environments. First, she's joined by Iowa-based advocate Max Mowitz who unpacks the surprising removal of gender identity protections from the state's civil rights law. They discuss the impact of corporate withdrawal from LGBTQ+ causes and the ways that mutual aid has helped fill the growing financial needs of trans Iowans. Imara then talks with Daroneshia Duncan-Boyd about her 10+ years of experience serving trans women of color in Birmingham, Alabama, plus why she has no time for performative leadership.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson break down the latest ITR Foundation poll and what it reveals about Iowa voters' priorities. The results show that fiscal issues are more important than ever, with tax policy, government spending, and inflation dominating voter concerns. Surprisingly, issues like illegal immigration and abortion have dropped in importance, possibly reflecting confidence that Trump will address these issues in his second term.Chris and John analyze the overwhelming support for three major fiscal proposals: • A two-thirds majority requirement to raise taxes • Constitutional protection for Iowa's flat tax • A 2% hard cap on local government spending The hosts then shift to the new property tax bill introduced by Senator Dan Dawson and Representative Bobby Kaufmann. The bill includes a 2% cap on city and county spending, and replaces the current rollback system with a new homestead exemption. Chris and John explore how this could impact taxpayers, local governments, and Iowa's long-term fiscal health.Wrapping up, they emphasize that Iowans are demanding structural tax reforms—not just temporary fixes. The hosts praise Iowa's conservative leadership for listening to voters and pushing for meaningful, lasting change.

Austin Frerick is an expert on agricultural and antitrust policy. In 2024, he published his debut book, entitled Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry. The book profiles a series of powerful magnates to illustrate the concentration of power in the global food system. Barons has received universal acclaim, including a coveted starred review from both Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews, and has been named one of the “Best Books of 2024” by the latter. The host of Bloomberg's Odd Lots applauded the book, remarking, "I have come away with a completely different idea of agriculture that I cannot unsee." Frerick previously worked at the Open Markets Institute, the U.S. Department of Treasury, and the Congressional Research Service before becoming a Fellow at Yale University. During the 2020 presidential campaign, he advised candidates Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg on agricultural policy before ultimately serving as Co-Chair of the Biden campaign's Agriculture Antitrust Policy Committee. He is a 7th generation Iowan and 1st generation college graduate, with degrees from Grinnell College and the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He also serves on the Board of Directors as Vice President for Common Good Iowa and as Treasurer for the Socially Responsible Agriculture Project.
